Tim Gurner: Australian tycoon calls for layoffs to fix worker attitudes
- olliej 3y agoBest bit is he got his start entirely off the back of family wealth. By definition he didn't work for it.
- RalfWausE 3y agoWell... trying to "fix workers attitude" is a thing that may easily lead to nasty scenes of tycoons, trees and ropes...
- psunavy03 3y agoBecause high-quality workers are obligated to work for him . . . wait, no they're not. If I were an Aussie, I'd describe him as a certain term for the female genitalia that's quite a bit harsher of an epithet stateside than it is Down Under. But I'm not an Aussie, so I won't. Bet the next story about him is whining about why he can't hire good people.
- stephenr 3y agoAs an official Australian, I'm happy to say he does sound like a fucking cunt.
- HHC-Hunter 3y agoMate, Tim Gurner is a gurner. Clearly old mate has had one too many and fried his brain.
- fooker 3y agoThe beatings will continue until morale improves
- kpw94 3y ago> He has previously suggested young people cannot afford homes because they spend too much on avocado toast. Ah that guy. Glad to see some consistency in the world, with stupid ideas/statement coming from same person. Not really HN worthy post though, flagging.
- deagle50 3y agoHe's not wrong about avocado toast. And ironically, if you stop paying 1000% markup on something so simple and save your money, you can neutralize the tycoon's leverage over you.
- gamechangr 3y agoWe have to get the economy bad to make it hard on workers....they will thank us for it.
